Are spent lead-acid batteries harmful to the environment?
To achieve the highest level of sustainability, we have also researched how to dispose of batteries at the end of their lifecycle. Our approach is to use procedures that ensure the lowest possible environmental impact. Today, thanks to the development of new technologies, spent batteries can be disposed of in specialised and certified centres. This avoids any environmental risk and is, above all, in line with circular economy principles. In fact, the spent batteries are taken to centres specialised in recycling all the materials inside them. This involves subjecting them to a three-step process of:
- Crushing.
- Melting.
- Refining.
At the end of the process, the pure metal is ready to be used again
for any application, including the production of new batteries.This recycling process allows the lead to be recovered with minimal environmental impact.
